Abstract:
The variety and complexity of procedures performed in the ambulatory surgical setting continue to expand and to offer an economical, efficient, convenient option for healthcare delivery. This growth has generated interest in the quality and safety of ambulatory surgery amongst many, including prospective patients, payers, and regulators. Analysis of patient deaths can help to inform proactive risk reduction strategies and the continuous improvement of ambulatory surgery.
